Gum dentistry

Periodontal Dentistry in Westchester, CA

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. They support your teeth, protect the surrounding bone, and play an important role in your overall health.

Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health conditions affecting adults, yet it often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and tooth loss. Research has also linked periodontal disease with systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

At Dental Wellness Arts, we provide comprehensive periodontal care that focuses on preventing, treating, and managing gum disease at every stage. From deep cleanings and maintenance therapy to advanced surgical procedures, our goal is to restore healthy gums, preserve your natural teeth, and support your long-term oral and overall health.

1. Scaling & Root Planing

Often called a deep cleaning, scaling and root planing removes bacteria and calculus from beneath the gum line while smoothing the tooth roots to encourage healthy gum reattachment. We combine this treatment with ozone therapy for enhanced antimicrobial support.

2. LANAP® Laser Treatment

LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the only FDA-cleared laser protocol for treating periodontal disease. This minimally invasive treatment removes infected tissue with remarkable precision while promoting bone regeneration, without scalpels or stitches.

3. Laser Gum Surgery

When surgical treatment is needed, laser technology allows us to treat gum disease with minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, and faster healing compared to traditional techniques.

4. Pinhole Gum Surgery

For patients with gum recession, the Pinhole Surgical Technique restores the gum line through a tiny opening, without incisions or sutures, allowing for immediate results and minimal downtime.

5. Gum Grafting

For more advanced gum recession, connective tissue grafting restores the gum line, protects exposed roots, and improves the long-term stability of your teeth.

6. Osseous Surgery

When deep periodontal pockets cannot be resolved through non-surgical treatment, osseous surgery reshapes the supporting bone to eliminate areas where harmful bacteria can persist

7. Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation

Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation
Bone grafting rebuilds lost jawbone after tooth loss or advanced periodontal disease, helping restore natural bone volume and prepare the area for future dental implants.

8. Guided Tissue & Bone Regeneration

Using specialized membranes and growth factors, this procedure encourages your body to regenerate bone and supporting tissues lost to periodontal disease.

9. Sinus Lift

For patients considering upper dental implants, a sinus lift creates the bone height needed for secure implant placement when natural bone volume is limited.

10. Gingivectomy

A gingivectomy removes excess or diseased gum tissue to improve periodontal health and create a more balanced, healthy gum line.

11. Periodontal Maintenance

Following active treatment, regular periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months help prevent recurrence by monitoring pocket depths, bone levels, and gum health.
